The ACRP focuses on research on climate change and climate actions, adaptation, mitigation and their mutual interrelation. The intent is to provide scientific back- ground for the implementation of the Austrian strategy for adaptation to climate change, the National Energy and Climate Plan (NEKP) and the Paris Agreement.

Projects of oriented basic research (100% funding) are supported in the following three thematic areas:

• Understanding the climate system and consequences of climate change
• Specific support for Austria’s policymakers
• Transformative change

Projects can be submitted by individual applicants or as cooperative projects involving several consortium members. 

Funding decision is expected by May 2025.

ATTENTION: strategic project

Please contact BOKU:BASE as soon as possible if you plan to submit a proposal, as internal BOKU approval by the rectorate is required before submission!
Rectorate meeting to be targeted: 3 or 10 December 2024

Joint launch of funded projects with kick-off seminar by the aws on 1.10.2025 (or 1.1.2026).

Your are an ambitious researcher (7-12 years post-PhD) about to establish your own research team and have a ground-breaking research idea! Then, the ERC Consolidator Grant is for you.

Those calls are extremely competitive, so you need support.

Contact FoS to enroll in our ERC Mentoring Program @ BOKU.

Funding opportunity for completely new, daring or particularly original research ideas beyond current scientific knowledge.

An employment of at least 50% at BOKU for the duration of the project, which is not financed by the 1000 Ideas fund, is a prerequisite for the application!

ATTENTION: Due to the processing via PROFI (i.e. all BOKU applications have to be submitted centrally in elane by the Research Support Office) and the holiday season, there are two earlier internal deadlines:

By 09.12.2024, 9 am:

• Confirmation of employment received from HR
• ePM sent to FoS
• Application in elane assigned to BOKU + forms completed (abstract is also sufficient until 2nd January)

By 02.01.2025, 1 pm:

• Approval of the ePM by the department head
• Appendices + abstract completed and uploaded in elane (ideally the final version), so that we can check them for formal correctness.
  In case of a later upload, a proposal check is subject to the availability of free resources in the Pre-award Support Team.

Submission is scheduled for 13 January, by which time any corrections must have been made and the application finalised in elane.
Otherwise we cannot guarantee a timely submission!

60 fully-funded fellowships (up to 24 months) for researchers at risk. 

ATTENTION: only one proposal per host instituion can be submitted, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to contact pre-award support (projektsuport@boku.ac.at ) before you start to develop your proposal. The principle first come-first served will be applied.

In BRIDGE 1 werden Projekte mit überwiegender Grundlagenforschungsnähe gefördert, die bereits ein realistisches Verwertungspotenzial erkennen lassen, sodass eine oder mehrere Firmen bereit sind, das Projekt mitzufinanzieren bzw. begleitend auch am Projekt teilzunehmen.

Die Kosten der Universität werden zu 100% finanziert (keine Eigenleistung notwendig).

Das Programm ist thematisch offen.

This programme encourages researchers to involve non-academic stakeholders in their research projects. Funding is available to teams that combine both academic and social knowledge and are applying them to help tackle social, technological, ecological, and economic challenges. The focus is on transdisciplinarity, innovative research approaches, and support for community engagement and collective learning spaces.
The program is aimed at consortia of two to five internationally outstanding researchers at one or more Austrian research institutions.

The #Connecting Minds program is divided into two phases:

1. In the first phase, researchers can apply to conduct a #ConnectingMinds Workshop. If approved, they can use this workshop to work together with the other project participants (including non-academic participants) to develop and advance their project idea and their planned research process for a #ConnectingMinds Project.
2. The second phase is to submit the proposal for a #ConnectingMinds Project (upon invitation only) based on the results of the workshop and to further elaborate the research project.

Funding period, funding amount and number of eligible projects

• #ConnectingMinds Workshop: 1–3 days, maximum €12,000, approx. 15 workshops
• #ConnectingMinds Project: maximum 60 months, maximum €1.25 million, approx. 3 projects on the EU Missions and 1 thematically open project
